Conversion factor puzzle of Gazprom


Comparison of Russian gas prices is complicated by the variety of gas standards in the reports and contracts of Gazprom. From the standpoint of heat content, a cubic meter of Ukrainian contract differs from the one of Gazprom report making the prices per thousand cubic meters (mcm) incomparable. To compare the prices, one needs to apply correct conversion factors.

For example, the prices of the Ukrainian contract of Gazprom are converted as follows.

$268.5/mcm

= $8.4/MMBtu

$378/mcm

= $11.8/MMBtu

$485/mcm

= $15.2/MMBtu

For the sake of comparison, IMF estimated the price of Russian gas at the border of Germany at $10.40/MMBtu (in September 2014). Gazprom reported the weighted average price of gas exported out of the former Soviet Union in H1-2014 at $11.4/MMBtu.
